Features: Lin Yutang often recommended "valuable" books to young people, but unlike most writers who only recommended literature, the English-writing Lin Yutang also included non-literary works in his recommendations, such as "Success Principles" by Orison Swett Marden, which is known as the "Bible of Success." Decades later, the book still attracts new readers with different versions. Marden was the founder of "Success" magazine and is widely recognized as the founder of American successology. This work, subtitled "The Personality Factors in Achieving Success and Wealth," is one of his most important representative works. Orison Swett Marden, an American author, wrote numerous books filled with inspiring and stimulating words for young people. His writings are incisive, precise, detailed, and never fail to engage readers. Such works are known as motivational books and are widely praised by Americans.
